Secondary Prevention Using Cholesterol-Lowering Medications in Patients with Prior Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Events: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis by Xue Han, Steven Fox, Michelle Chu, Jeff McCombs

“…Early treatment was associated with significant reductions in the risk of an ASCVD hospitalization at any time following the identification of the patient’s eligibility for secondary prevention (by 33% compared to those treated late or never, *P*\<.0001), but was significantly associated with higher total cost over the first post-index year (by US \$509, *P*\<.001). Patients whose low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were \>130 mg/dL experienced higher ASCVD hospitalization risks, and also larger risk reductions if treated before an ASCVD hospitalization compared to patients with lower LDL-C levels who were treated late or never treated. …”

A Comparison of Machine Learning-Based Approaches in Estimating Surface PM_2.5 Concentrations Focusing on Artificial Neural Networks and High Pollution Events by Shijin Wei, Kyle Shores, Yangyang Xu

“…The sensitivity analysis of features that interpret the models suggests that the total extinction AOD at 550 nm and surface CO concentrations are the most important features in the Western and Eastern U.S., respectively. The findings suggest that even the simplest NNs provide better air quality estimates, especially during high pollution events, which is beneficial for long-term exposure analysis. …”

An efficient binary spider wasp optimizer for multi-dimensional knapsack instances: experimental validation and analysis by Mohamed Abdel-Basset, Reda Mohamed, Karam M. Sallam, Ibrahim Alrashdi, Ibrahim A. Hameed

“…However, the majority of metaheuristic algorithms proposed for MKP suffer from slow convergence speed and low quality of final results, especially as the number of dimensions increases. This motivates us to present BSWO discretized using nine well-known transfer functions belonging to three categories—X-shaped, S-shaped, and V-shaped families—for effectively and efficiently tackling this problem. …”
